This book is designed for students and professionals who want to understand and apply basic meteorological concepts, but who don\'t need to derive equations.
I used Excel for my Sample Applications and most of my graphs..
As a textbook, the end of each chapter includes extensive homework exercises in categories inspired by Bloom\'s taxonomy of learning actions: "Broaden Knowledge & Comprehension"; "Apply"; "Evaluate & Analyze"; and "Synthesize." Although a hand calculator can be used for some of the homework exercises, other exercises are best solved on a computer spreadsheet such as Excel or using a mathematical program such as MATLAB, R, Mathematica, or Maple.
This book is designed to be both a textbook and a reference.
This book could serve the fields of Atmospheric Science, Meteorology, Environmental Science, Engineering, Air Quality, Climatology, and Geography.
Your background should include algebra, trig, and classical physics.
No previous knowledge of meteorology is needed -- the author starts from the basics.
With algebraic approximations to the atmosphere, you can see the physical meaning of each term and you can plug in numbers to get usable answers.
To make this book accessible to more people, equations have been converted into algebra.
